Young talented 2nd year d man Jack Johnson will miss 3 months or more. He will require shoulder surgery and that will be a significant blow to the MalagaRoad Flyers considering he already lost the other Johnson, Erik, for the rest of the year.
The Kings' Jack Johnson, a key figure in the team's rebuilding plans, suffered a tear in the labrum of his left shoulder Sunday and will undergo surgery this week.
He was put on injured reserve and isn't expected back until after the Jan. 25 All-Star game, Coach Terry Murray said Monday.
"It's very unfortunate," Murray said. "When you look at it, and when you look at things like this, it always seems like an innocent play."
Johnson was injured during the first period of the Kings' 1-0 loss to San Jose on Sunday at Staples Center. Murray said Johnson was attempting to play a puck that had flipped into the air when he was hit by a Sharks player.
"He saw the player at the last second and tried to get out of the way but couldn't," Murray said.
